After making a big gift, Zhang Qingting held up the evidence in his hand and presented it, "Long live my emperor, the people's wife Zhang, followed her ex-husband Zhao Chengcai, a new imperial examiner, to Beijing to prepare for the exam." However, on the night of the Lantern Festival, on the way home from enjoying the lanterns, he was robbed and killed by bandits...... Later, the sister-in-law discovered the secrets in the dungeon. After consulting Sister Jiang's sister, the details are as follows...... The existing paper and physical evidence are here, please take a look at them to Your Majesty."

Zhang Qingting spoke clearly, concisely and concisely recounted the incident, and presented the paper that Meng Zhan had helped her sort out and copied neatly and fluently.

As soon as the above happened, the cause and effect were clearly explained. Of course, there are also a few cover-ups. For example, Fang Dehai's death was pushed on the heads of this gang of bandits. And the return of Zhao Yulian and He Yutang was said to be a heavy ransom.

Here, they are prepared with both hands, it depends on whether the emperor wants to investigate to the end, if they decide to tolerate and connive, they can only calm the matter, if they are determined to pursue it, they will conceal and not report Yan Bozhai's matter, and deduce that they dare not offend the important ministers of the court. This is also human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.

And the emperor didn't wait for her to finish speaking, but he had already quietly changed color, and when he looked at the paper and ironclad evidence she presented again, he was simply furious, but his face was as unmoving as a mountain, and he couldn't see what was going on.

The emperor was angry that under his nose, there was such a group lurking, threatening his own and his life all the time. So is he still sitting firmly in this dragon chair?

What are they hijacking for? Zhang Qingting's paper deliberately wrote "unclear intentions", but he understood that this was an attempt to control the move, with the intention of getting involved in the court, if such a person was really allowed to get in, wouldn't there be more rebels with bad intentions in his court? This is a great sin

But the emperor immediately thought, did these bandits exist alone? It is absolutely impossible that if no one is secretly behind the scenes, how did they get into the Yanwang Abandoned Garden? Where did these people get out of the net? There's a lot to scrutinize here.

And the first one to be suspected is Yan Bozhai. What the emperor once asked Yan Bozhai to do, he himself knew it. It is undeniable that Yan Bozhai once made great contributions to his accession to the throne. But if he secretly raises these masters because of this, and intends to control the future officials of the imperial court and interfere with the court, it will be an unforgivable felony.

But how to investigate this case, the emperor still has to think about it.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Zhang Qingting was not in a hurry. The reason why she dared to sue this case was because Yan Bozhai's actions were contrary to yang and yin. Originally, I didn't dare to act rashly in the past, but I couldn't figure this out. However, Yan Bozhai used King Yan's waste garden to raise adultery, but Zhang Qingting saw the maze clearly.

If Yan Bozhai really raised these martial arts characters on the emperor's orders, where to hide people, why risk the world's disapproval and hide people in the Yanwang Mansion?

In any case, this is the family of his own brother who was imprisoned and killed by the emperor, and no matter how far-sighted the emperor is, he will not use such a place that will clearly block himself to do things. He would rather be sealed and immovable, and never use such a place to support the people of the former Yan Wangfu. Isn't that just for yourself?

Since Yan Bozhai did such a thing without the emperor's permission, that is to say, no matter whether he had used these people to sell his life for the emperor, the emperor would not accept his affection.

As a king, especially a young and ambitious emperor who wants to do something big, what is the most taboo for him? It is the pride and self-righteousness of the heroes of the past.

And Meng Zhan also mentioned that the emperor intended to suppress the Yan and Meng families, so Zhang Qingting had reason to believe that she could sue this case as a little old surname who did not know about it. and then bring out the case of Jiang Qihong's fiancé in a timely manner, which can move people with emotion. And also gave Wang Taichu a justice.

Just imagine, with Jiang Qihong's enduring humiliation and filial piety for so many years, it is completely up to the standard of a martyr's wife. No matter how this case is found, if the Wang family can be rehabilitated, a good story can be spread.

After discussion and analysis by everyone, if there is such a thing to cover up, the surname will be more relished, so as to offset the dissatisfaction of some emperors with their drastic behavior of suing the emperor, and they can deal with the matter more calmly.

Sure enough, after reading Zhang Qingting's paper, the emperor thought about it again, and sent the Imperial Forest Army to raid the Yan Palace. If what Zhang Qingting said is all true, then there must be evidence left at the scene.

The Imperial Forest Army is the emperor's cronies' army, and this time the envoy came suddenly, and the command was led by the cronies and guards who walked in front of the emperor, which greatly reduced the disturbance of the action.

Of course, even if there are people who know, no one dares to hit the muzzle of the gun at this juncture, and they are all eager to hide as far away as possible, lest the emperor be angry and look for their handle.

Yan Bozhai heard that someone had beaten the Dengwen drum today, and he immediately became nervous. He was cautious by nature, and felt that no matter who the person who went to sue the emperor was, for the sake of safety, he should let the people of Yanwangfu evacuate as soon as possible. In the end, it is some people and things that are not visible, and Zhao Yulian and the others have just been sent away from there, if there is a commotion in the capital, it is always right to be careful.

After Zhao Chengcai ate a bowl of soup and rice at noon, he was completing his task of the bag of cigarettes, but saw Chunmei, who was supposed to be taking a nap, suddenly came downstairs in a panic, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao"

Is it? Zhao Chengcai was overjoyed when he heard this, could it be that the person who saved him came?

Chunmei didn't know either, but just hurried up and said, "The master ordered someone to inform him, saying that he was going to transfer immediately, and he didn't know where to take us."

She glanced in the direction of the rooftop and whispered, "They will be busy, no one is watching, I plan to escape while there is chaos, and I came here to tell you." Do you move? Do you want to run away with me? ”

Last night, while the person under surveillance was asleep, Chunmei quietly slipped in and talked to Zhao Chengcai about herself, wanting to discuss an idea with someone.

Hearing her say this, Zhao Chengcai also felt that with Yan Bozhai's character, Nineteen would kill her and help her think about it. The original idea was to use the excuse that Zhao Chengcai wanted to buy something, to see if he could send Chunmei out to help her escape. Unexpectedly, before their strategy could be used, this change happened suddenly.

Zhao Chengcai quickly made a judgment, "How can I go like this?" You just leave me alone, seize the opportunity and run away" Thinking about it, he said, "Don't rush out first, in case you bump into someone who doesn't have your good fruit to eat, find a place to hide in the courtyard, and when they are gone, you can go out again"

Chunmei nodded, "Then I'll go first."

She turned around, but heard the sound of hurried footsteps from upstairs. Suddenly his face turned yellow with fright, but Zhao Chengcai's mind was still sober, and when he saw it, he said in a loud voice, "Then when you go to a new place, do you still have this cigarette?" ”

"Of course, there is" Chunmei understood, nodded vigorously in a hurry, and hurriedly packed up her things.

When the people upstairs rushed down, they saw such a "normal" scene. The person in front of the head glanced at Chunmei with a gloomy face, and commanded the two people behind him to come over with a soft pocket, "Mr. Zhao, let's go"

"Okay" Zhao Chengcai responded in his mouth, but when he saw that the man looked at Chunmei's back with a fierce look in his eyes, he stabbed with a knife, and couldn't help but be surprised, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chunmei avoided it because of his reminder, but she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and couldn't even speak.

The man was ruthless and merciless, and he was about to stab her in the heart with a knife, Zhao Chengcai reluctantly threw himself down from the bed to protect her, "Don't kill her"

"Mr. Zhao, don't be nosy, we are also acting on orders." The man was about to push him away when someone came down from upstairs.

"Why haven't you done it yet? It seems that some officers and soldiers are coming in our direction."

What the? After reacting, Zhao Chengcai was ecstatic in his heart, but he immediately thought that although the officers and soldiers were here, could he, a weak scholar, fight this gang of vicious people? If you are not careful, you will be stabbed by them. It is better to save their lives first, pretend to leave with them, and only hope that the officers and soldiers will come quickly and stop them quickly.

So he said, "If you kill her, if you find out to the officers and soldiers, it will cause trouble for Lord Yan, it is better to take her with you, I will take this matter forward, and I will tell Lord Yan when I go back."

Those people looked at each other, Zhao Chengcai was right, and now he can only do this first.

For the man to make a decision, he ordered his subordinates to throw away the soft pocket, "Don't ask for this Rausch, you carry him, you pull her, hurry up"

Several men did as they were told, and quickly led them out of the cellar.

Zhao Chengcai hadn't seen the light of day for a long time, and when he first came out, his eyes were still a little unbearable, so he closed them tightly, and he didn't even see the situation in this place clearly, so he threw them behind the saddle like a sack, and drove away like a lightning speed.

The fire in his heart, these soldiers, why can't he come one step faster?

When the Imperial Forest Army came to Yanwang's Mansion, although it was empty, there were a lot of traces of people living there, and the engraved ground in the cell was quite consistent with Zhang Qingting's description. And the imperial doctor sent by the emperor also went to check on He Yutang and Zhao Yulian's injuries, and there was indeed no element of falsification.

There is also a Judu Yuhan here, who has already communicated with everyone in advance, and he doesn't need to lie, but only came to the palace on behalf of his uncle and explained what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival. When there are people who read to speak, things are even more convincing.

The only fly in the ointment is that Yan Bozhai was vigilant and acted one step in advance, and no one was caught, and in the Yanwang Mansion, nothing related to him was left.

Even if Zhao Yulian has been there for a few days, she has never seen his true face of Lushan, and she knows in her heart that it is the same thing, but without evidence, she can't say anything.
